Following the mass shooting in the Oregon District that killed nine people on Sunday, Aug. 4, businesses, restaurants, individuals and organizations have found numerous ways to come together and support those impacted by the tragic event and the community as a whole.

The shooting came on the heels of destruction from 15 tornadoes on Memorial Day. One person was killed by the storm and dozens more were injured. Homes were damaged and destroyed, and many were displaced. Rebuilding will be a lengthy process.

A group of organizations and businesses have “united” to make an impact. Ten High Productions, Venus Child Productions, Sound Valley, The Oregon District, Yellow Cab Tavern, partner organization Downtown Dayton, and countless others will present “Dayton United.”

While people shop at the many small, local, independent stores in the Oregon District on this weeknight event, music and art will fill every corner of the District.

“It’s the music community’s way of reclaiming this beloved space,” organizers wrote on the event’s Facebook page.

John Legend made a surprise visit to the Oregon District Sunday evening with Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley to show support in the aftermath of the mass shooting Sunday, Aug. 4. He stopped by a number of stores to shop including Heart Mercantile, Brim on Fifth, Puff Apothecary and Beck + Call. AMELIA ROBINSON / STAFF
